I'm on a 2006 Anthem and have been eyeballing the Element for a while simply because it's a fully with two bottle mounts in the frame. Seems silly but I like to go long and I like the idea of not having to use a two-fish cage on the back of the post or put a bottle under the down tube. They get so filthy in those spots.

Honestly, I'm a little nervous about the suspension compared to the Anthem. For no good reason though. It's just all I know at this point. Still think I'll try out an element though.... price is good on a 2009 and it's time to get a race bike put together.

Anyone know the weight (With or without shock) on a 19" Element 90/50 frame?
